Finally I finished it ! \(TwT)/ I thought I would never finish it, I always saw mistakes in
it… :( and school was harsh lately (so I didn’t have much time to do this… sorry it’s the best I can do with
such conditions)
First, I have to say it’s my entry for ’s EXCHANGE SCANS CONTEST

PLEASE FULL VIEW (it should look a bit better ^^')

Now onto the conception… the rules said that we had to use scans that other members had
chosen. Among the three scans I received, I chose this one :)

but I must admit that my
laziness made the girl look odd since I vexelled her... ^__^"

--------------------------------------

SECOND STEP : Backgroundokay, here, to be honest, I had ZERO ideas (T.T) so I just decided to follow the idea of
the original background of the scan xD after doing the sky and the odd sea, inspiration came! :D it looked like a traditional Japanese painting so I changed the sea
with the well-know “Great Wave off Kanagawa” by Hokusai x) (well, at least I tried) so, I picked some shots on
Google images and started vexelling the waves. Then, I was done (^///^) but then, it looked kinda too plain :/ so I
tried using patterns for the first time of my life! =^_^= it looked better :3

Patterns :(thanks to Raffa for promoting the site in the past contest ;D)#1#2#3#4#5then, I added a grungy texture x3 but it looked a bit… off.. x_x anyway, I left it as it
was :p

---------------------------------------

THIRD STEP : Revisionsearching for little mistakes (but there were too many of them so I gave up... =.=).. then,
I adjusted the colors, brightness… and basta~ finished (/^.^)/

---------------------------------------

FOURTH STEP : Thinking of a
title... so.. ^^' I suck at finding titles guys.. so I put a random one! O___O'

Love the colors and all those pretty textures and patterns you used around the background; they're interesting and
stylish without being too aggressive or overwhelming. The vector is also very stylish and pretty. I just think the
leaves look a bit out of place in such a scene but they're so nicely made it doesn't really matter that much, lol. Good
job and good luck in the contest! xD
